On this day in history, June 29, 2007, the first Apple iPhone was released, changing the smartphone space forever. The phone sold for $600 and had people camped outside retail stores to buy it.
First announced on Jan. 9, 2007, by Apple CEO Steve Jobs, the iPhone was considered one of Apple's worst-kept secrets — but even so, it was arguably the most anticipated gadget of all time. With over 2.3 billion units sold since 2007, Apple has taken the top spot in the global smartphone market. Erica Lamberg is a contributing writer for Fox News Digital.
"Prior to the unveiling at Macworld Expo, tech blogs published rumors purporting to contain details on the iPhone," Wired said. "And days before the iPhone finally landed, [on] June 29, hundreds of fanatical consumers camped outside Apple and AT&T stores for the $600 gadget."
